I was born in a restless country, full of contradictions and insecurities - Romania - or another Russia dreaming of becoming France. Moving to Sweden, then to UK ( I am studying politics at the University of York) made me conscious about both the similarities and contradictions between cultures, made me aware of who I am and how home should feel like.
Small talk bores me. I am keen on discovering the vulgarity of life - my passion is the human being, with all its flaws and perfection.
I believe in human rights and equality - an utopian you might say.
I wanna talk about atoms, lust, lies, passions, dreams, everything that is felt, your flaws, your favourite smell, what keeps you awake, your childhood, what makes you insecure, what you're afraid of. I like people with mental depth, the ones that speak with insecurity and confidence at the same time.... insecurity of the feelings, confidence of what they are.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy meeting new people from all around the world, sharing ideas, cultures, experiences and moments. I think the richest person is the one who has met as many people as possible in life - good or bad, I will always have something to learn from everyone - the important thing is to have the will. So I take every opportunity, even the digital ones, to surround myself with souls that have something to say.

Interests

Multiculturality, Books, Coffee, a nice night out, cooking, chinese food, vegetarian food, wine, travel tips, cars, motorcycles
I am interested in everything as long as you are passionate about it. Have the sparkle in the eye when you're talking about it and it will become my favourite thing for that moment.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've moved to York all by myself with 300£, a passport and a small suitcase. Also the little things in life like having a coffee with a total stranger, dancing on the steet, smiling uncontrollably, spontaneous trips..

Teach, Learn, Share

You can find everything in me, or if not everything, at least the openess to discuss and find out about everything. I can have interminable discussions on Politics, Linguistic, East European culture, cooking, multiculturality, literature and feelings.
